Other Billionaires from Traditional Finance

According to Forbes, Jeff Bezos has again become the world’s wealthiest person, making it the third time in a row, despite giving his ex-wife, MacKenzie Bezos, $36 billion worth of his Amazon stock, which served as their divorce settlement. His present worth is $113 billion.

Bill Gates still maintains the second spot, followed by Bernard Arnault, the luxury goods tycoon, who outplaced Warren Buffett to clinch the third position.
